Am I That Boring??

I've started to realize that I never have anything to write about except school! Seriously. All I do revolves around school - and though I love it - sometimes it would be great to have other things to reflect on. Maybe that time will come. I found some wise words today that I thought I could use as advice: "Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile." I have learned that looks do decieve, and I really haven't dealth with wealth...but don't want to either. Smiling is good. I smile lots - I'm happy - but I think there is potential for more. I don't know what it is these days - maybe just the stress of wrapping up the semester. Whatever it is I am back in the "rut" of going through the motions and finding it hard to motivate myself to get out there. For now I think that's okay. Things will change when they are suppossed to! (now I just have to believe that). Even though I'd really like to "resign" from adulthood somedays I guess that's not an option (just gotta keep a positive attitude and deal with it!)

I Resign...
I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8-year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.
I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes,
but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.
All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should
make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair.
That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again.
I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news,
how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip,
illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams,
the imagination, mankind, and making angelsin the snow.
So...here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit cards and all my responsibility.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.
